CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!

Just a quick post to let people know that after much heartache, my fiance has been told that his k-1 visa is approved. His quick interview today went well at the Paris embassy. He handed over his passport and was told to expect it by mail in a "few days". He plans to look for flights the first or second week of June! He's coming back.

I on the other hand have to try to figure out how to cancel my flight that I had scheduled to come to see him this summer. Has anyone had to do that? Will the airline company refund part/some of my money? I have to call them today. I'm hoping for a voucher that I might be able to use at a later date.

Here is a link to a video one of my students made of our trip last summer to France. I thought some might like to see it.

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE STILL WAITING>>>don't give up hope. I can be done. The obstacles that we have overcome have just made our bond stronger. I really think that they sometimes try to make this as long and difficult as possible so that some people give up their request. DON'T GIVE UP.

I know that I will continue to use this forum now that I have found it as we begin the steps necessary for him to remain in the US. Thank you for this site and for the wonderful information and help and encouragement that you give. This is invaluable.

Another update: My fiance had has interview on Friday and it was quick and easy. He left his passport and was told to expect all paperwork in a "few days". I've since cancelled my flight to France in June--the company did not refund my $1500 ticket! (That was Northwest Airlines, by the way) I told them that I was extremely displeased with that decision and that I was a good customer (4 international flights in one year!) and that I would be forced to use a different airline company when booking future flights. I had hoped for at least a sort of travel voucher that I could use.

Another question. Can anyone tell me about how long the process will take when he arrives at the airport? Is it a lengthy process? We are trying to decide if he should just come as far as Chicago instead of trying to make a connecting flight to come closer to my area. Often there is only 2 hours between arrival flight and next connecting flight. I worry that may not be enough time.

Another question: Can I send him a cell phone through the mail so that he has something he can use to call me from the airport? I know I can directly ask the post office today, but thought perhaps someone already knows this answer.

Thanks again for this site! What a wealth of information, what a community of people that care about each other.
